✦ Synopsis

Both elemental mercury and the mercurous ion give rise to a signal in Cold-Vapor Atomic Absorption Analysis under non-reducing conditions. Distinction between these species based on the greater solubility of the mercurous ion in water is possible, and the potential of this analytical distinction is illustrated with the finding that oxidation of mercury by peracetic acid involves the mercurous state.
